The Inventors
Network of the Capital Area is a non-profit educational
organization founded in 1993. Our members are interested in patents, the
innovation process, product design, marketing, licensing,
prototyping and other product development issues.
Every month we host a meeting with a speaker and time for
experienced and beginning inventors to network. Private sector
speakers at past meetings
have included successful inventors, and experts in: marketing,
branding, patenting, licensing, prototyping, venture capital,
and entrepreneurship. Speakers at previous meetings have also
included officials from the US Patent & Trademark Office of
Independent Inventor Programs and representatives of government small
business assistance programs. For more details on past
speakers and meeting topics see the
Past
Meetings page.
Meetings are free and open to the public. We invite you to attend our next meeting to participate in networking over pizza, snacks,
and drinks.
See the
Meetings
page for a schedule of upcoming meetings, directions, and more
information. If you are interested in speaking at an
upcoming meeting, or would like to recommend a speaker, visit ourSpeakers page.
